It won’t, you’ll just be able to verify a source
Not even that. It only allows you to verify that the source is identical to (the potentially wrong information) that was claimed at the time of recording by the person adding that information to the block chain. Blockchain, as usual, adds nothing here.
It proves that the video could not have been created at a later time.
it can add trust. If there’s a trusted central authority where these hashes can be stored then there’s no need for a blockchain. However, if there isn’t, then a blockchain could be used instead, as long as it’s big and established enough that everybody can agree that the data stored on it cannot be manipulated
but false, nonconsensual nudes are not collectible items that need to have their authenticity proven. they are there to destroy peoples’ lives. even if 99% of people seeing your nude believe you it’s not authnetic, it still affects you heavily
of course not, but that’s not what this comment thread is about. It’s about this:
that’s where it can be very useful to store a fingerprint of a file in a trusted database, regardless of where that database gets its trust from

that is not what this comment thread is about
it very much is:

parent reply: Thats why we need Blockchain Technology
a discussion can have multiple, separate threads with branching topics, that’s what this threaded comment system is specifically made to facilitate
yeah but the problem is mere existance of tools allowing pornographic forgery, not verifying whether the material is real or not
